What makes KUKUU different?

Most wellness experiences add more practices, more schedules, more effort.

KUKUU is built on subtraction.

Here, healing begins when the nervous system is no longer rushed, watched, or asked to perform.

At KUKUU you will find:

  • Highly personalized, one-to-one care

  • Silence as a therapeutic tool

  • Medicinal plant-based nourishment

  • Nervous-system–led rhythm instead of rigid routines

  • Nature as a co-regulator, not a backdrop

Everything is designed to create the conditions in which your body can finally soften — and remember how to heal.

The KUKUU Nervous System Reset Method™

At the heart of every KUKUU experience is a proprietary framework designed to support long-term nervous system regulation, metabolic balance, and emotional resilience.

The Core: Safety First™

Healing does not happen through force. It happens when the body feels safe.

From this foundation, six pillars gently guide the process:

I Rhythm Over Routine
Restoring biological timing instead of imposing discipline.

II Medicinal Nourishment
 Plant-based food as information, not control.

III Silence as Medicine
 Reducing sensory and cognitive load to allow integration.

IV Embodied Regulation
 Breath, presence, and gentle somatic practices.

V Nature Immersion
 Forest bathing, ocean air, volcanic land — regulation through environment.

VI Integration & Continuity
 Sustainable rhythms that travel home with you.

This method is non-invasive, deeply respectful, and designed specifically for women who have lived in high-responsibility roles for decades.

Kukuu by Stefania Daniele

I am an HMI Certified Health Coach and Holistic Health Therapist, with 15 years of experience in supporting women’s health thanks to an alchemy of in-depth knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Macrobiotic philosophy and natural remedies.

I am native italian but from 2022 I moved to Graciosa island, a little gem of the Azorean Archipelago. In this wonderful isolated environment I started to expand my Kukuu project about supporting women who are ready to experience true healing and profound cellular renewal through proper nourishment, reconnection with Nature and nervous system regulation.

KUKUU was born from years of working with women who had “done everything right” and still felt exhausted, inflamed, or disconnected. What they needed was not another plan — but safety, silence, and rhythm.

In Graciosa, I curate private healing retreats designed to gently reset the nervous system through nature, nourishment, and deeply personalized care.

What does “Kukuu” means?

Kukuu - 九空

is a Japanese word and it contains two ideograms with multiple meanings. It condenses everything we wanted to express around healthy foods in the physical and spiritual senses.

  • Everything about Kukuu project has started to unfold in the Azorean Arcipelago which consists in 9 islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

  • The act of eating itself is so powerful. Food can harm us or heal us.

  • All that is prepared carefully, slowly, with love.

  • Always looking ahead to future and innovation and at the same time back to the roots. Protecting and preserving our origins.
